Majority of Americans Urge CBS to Release Full Transcript of Harris's Interview

A large majority of Americans believe CBS should release the full transcript of Vice President Kamala Harris's recent interview on "60 Minutes," according to a new poll by Harvard CAPS/Harris. The survey revealed that 85 percent of respondents feel the network should publish the complete conversation between journalist Bill Whitaker and Harris, expressing concerns that the broadcast was edited in a way that cast her in a more favorable light.

 

Critics of both Harris and mainstream media, including former President Donald Trump, have suggested that CBS selectively edited the October 7 interview to benefit the vice president. This belief is shared by a significant portion of the public. The survey results show that 53 percent of respondents think CBS intentionally edited the interview to present Harris in a more positive light.

 

While CBS did publish a transcript of the full broadcast when it aired, the controversy stems from the exclusion of an answer Harris gave regarding the ongoing war in Gaza. This response was not part of the aired segment but was instead made available online. Critics seized on this omission as evidence that CBS tailored the interview to benefit Harris.

 

“It’s an overwhelming finding that CBS should release the full transcript of their interview with Harris,” said Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. “Failing to do so raises credibility issues with them.” CBS News has not commented further on the issue. It is common practice for news outlets to edit interviews with high-profile figures for clarity, time constraints, and accuracy. However, in this case, the decision to cut specific parts of Harris's responses has fueled accusations of media bias.

 

This debate comes amid broader criticisms of media practices, especially after Trump withdrew from a planned "60 Minutes" interview in 2020, citing concerns over the network’s intent to fact-check him. Trump and Harris have also been involved in other public confrontations, with Harris and her supporters urging Trump to release updated medical reports and face her in a debate. Trump has declined these requests, citing early voting in several states.

 

The Harvard CAPS/Harris poll was conducted between October 11 and October 13, surveying 3,145 registered voters, including 2,596 likely voters and 898 voters from key battleground states. The poll, a joint effort between the Center for American Political Studies at Harvard University and the Harris Poll, had a margin of error of plus or minus 1.8 percentage points.

 

The results were adjusted for a variety of demographic factors to reflect the actual makeup of the population, including age, gender, region, race, and political affiliation. Additionally, propensity score weighting was used to account for respondents’ likelihood to participate in online surveys.

He’s making a habit of backing out of scheduled interviews:

This is written so it looks like it's everybody that is complaining when it's only the MAGA morons.

 

The section you quoted doesn't suggest that at all.  What you've quoted reports what a specific group said about the situation. 

 

The part that talks about people objecting to not releasing the full transcript is the "85 percent of respondents part".

A wise move given the treatment last time. 

 

Fool me once...

 

He's better off letting Harris bury herself. 

It’s probably got more to do with his stunningly good impression at his Pennsylvania rally of a confused and lost old man. 
 

Standing on stage looking lost and confused until he was lead away by a kind helper who came to his aid.

It would be a good idea. I would like to hear Harris explain how she thinks Joe is still with it, how she wouldnt' change a thing and why she is running. It is obviously just political nonsense. She covered up the fact Joe is a drooling retard before she cut his heart out and ate it whole.

Off you go on a tangent.

 

So you agree Trump should release his medical report.

 

Something he is refusing to do.

 

“Nothing to hide, nothing to fear”

 

What’s he hiding I wonder?

Trump has said he would take a test with Joe in the past. I guess the golf game was called off around the same time. Why doesnt Kamala demand Joe get tested, amongst other problems.

Kamala isn’t running against Biden.

 

There are two candidates, one has published her detailed medical test results, the other is refusing to do so.

 

Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.

 

 

So you think the sitting president shoulnt release medical records but candidates should?
